    Ahhh…such a heartwarming story. So glad you guys were able to make Singapore your home. So happy that there were kind and friendly people that extended friendship to you. We are enriched by people such as you. Here, or Tanzania, home is where our heart is. All of us have a home of our origin, and a place we choose to make our home. Sometimes they are the same, sometimes not. You guys are beyond doubt, Singaporeans. 🥰🥰🥰

    They are 110% locals through and through, doesn’t matter if they have attained citizenship or not. Just hearing them speak in their distinct Singlish makes them Singaporean. Love this interview, Nancy is so articulate and well-spoken; Wendy is simply gorgeous.

      Wonderful advice! Indeed Singapore is a safe place for cultural diversity. Many Americans of diverse backgrounds wish mainstream Americans can think like that. “There’s no look to being American” is a phrase I hope to hear in my lifetime, and I hope one day the phrase “the more I wonder the more I love” comes true.

    Even though Singapore has majority Chinese but I never felt that growing up. I grew up with my Malay neighbours and my Indian tutors. We never felt any different and I embrace the diversity even more now. There was once I saw on YT that foreigners felt that Singaporeans respected them as a person first instead of skin colour. It made me proud as a Singaporean. We love people / foreigners that embrace Singapore‘s diversity.

    Being singaporean is a sound. Thats interesting. I would certainly agree, but i also dont really like my singaporean sound because its too informal and borderline chor lor. When i listen back to how i sound, the words are quite unclear. Orrrr maybe its a me problem 😂😂😂😂😂 but if you compare how a korean speaks english, i find that accent really professional sounding.

    • @abuandkiki3037
      @abuandkiki3037 3 месяца назад

      like they said theyre going back to their roots, yes they spent most of their time in singapore so their culture is mainly singaporean but being born a tanzanian of course they would feel the need to learn more about their culture based on their ethnicity, basically based on nationality yes their culture is singaporean but based on ethnicity they would want to learn about their culture as a tanzanian, would you say that my culture as a malay is one of the same as the culture of being a singaporean?

    • @AR-ek1jr
      @AR-ek1jr 3 месяца назад

      @abuandkiki3037 yes i actually would say that. Your Malay culutre is of a Singaporean Malay culture. If you were to go back to your roots and go to Malaysia, you may find that their Malay culture may be slightly different from ours. We are only as Malay as our food and what we wear for raya, tbh.
      For e.g, i see this in African Americans, too. Born and raised in the US, never been to any African country, but since their parent is from lets say Kenya, and suddenly they are Kenians.
